Learning How To Choose

By now I've realized that life is nothing short of an abundance of decisions.
Time after time I have to make hard choices, so how do I choose?

Lately, I've noticed something in myself I've been praying for for a long time. In each decision I make, I have begun to think about things differently. I no longer just think about who I am, and how this choice will affect me. I am able to put things into perspective and think about the people it will affect in the long run, or if it will even benefit others, let alone myself.
I can constantly feel God working through me in these decisions.
I'm sure, like me, the path you're traveling seems outrageously unclear sometimes, but I've found, God really does make it clear if you listen.

If you listen to people.

Listen to people! Listen to the people who have experienced what you're going through. And even those who haven't. If you listen to people, you'll learn more than you can imagine. You can gain knowledge, find comfort, and may even discover that the struggles you go through aren't solely your struggles. Time and time again, I find that the people I know are either going through, or have gone through the same things I'm experiencing in life. And by listening to someone say how they've traveled their own path, it can help you on your own path.

If you listen to God.

Most importantly, listen to God. If you listen to what God has already told you in His word, you'll realize how much He's already guiding you! God purposely wrote these things for his people. For YOU. You're supposed to read it. God meant for you to. His guidance is for you. So don't ignore it.

He doesn't want you to be in the dark. He always has a direction for you to go, and longs for you to follow. With this guidance, you can follow. So listen.

Just listen.
